Can I Run Anima?
Released in 2023, Anima is an action casual game built by Recreate Games. Publishing duties went to Source Technology. The game supports a single player campaign and cooperative play. It is localised into 10 languages according to the store listing. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. Full controller support is present, so nothing needs configuring before a pad works. Completionists have 116 achievements to work through. Over 57 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. Split screen on one PC is supported, a feature most releases have quietly dropped.

Why Anima is demanding
Anima is undemanding on the graphics side. Its NVIDIA GTX 1060 / AMD RX 580 target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Anima. The install is small at roughly 12 GB. Its 16 GB RAM requirement matches what a typical machine already has. Anima needs only 4 GB of video memory. Anima names Windows 11, so a Windows 10 machine may need attention first. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Anima scales hard with the hardware you give it.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Anima?
Anima is light on hardware. Its minimum, NVIDIA GTX 750-Ti / AMD RX 550, 2GB VRam, 8 GB RAM, about 12 GB free, sits below what an entry-level PC ships with today, so nearly any modern machine, and many older ones, will run it.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 2.62x |
| 1440p | Runs well | 1.47x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.65x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against Anima's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
